About Brother Chimp Brewing

Brother Chimp Brewing is a brewery and beer garden in North Aurora. It is one of two Brother Chimp locations, and the other is in St. Charles. Its website says the brewery won a gold award in the 2024 World Beer Cup for Ludwig, its Vienna lager.

The website describes Ludwig as a crystal clear, walnut brown lager with toasty Vienna malt and biscuity grain notes. The brewery says it makes small-batch, hand-crafted beer. It also pours ciders, wines, seltzers, pre-mixed cocktails and spirits.

Its website says weekly and monthly events run across both locations, from live music to special releases. The events page also lists food trucks and music bingo.
